Subject: RE: BS: Dirty election day tricks
I don't even get it. What is disenfranchised saying? I agree that voter intimidation/suppression does happen, and it is a bad thing. But is DE blaming Democrats, Republicans, or whom? And if the Republicans are suggesting that minority leaders should speak out against intimidation, isn't that a good thing? Trying to link it to "Democratic tactics" is a smear, of course, as the Republicans use these tactics at least as often, but if the campaign is primarily about minority leaders telling their constituencies to vote, to stand up for themselves, and not to be intimidated, I'm not sure what I should be objecting to. Clarify, please...
